Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage footage captures a bustling waterway in Calcutta, India. Wooden boats laden with goods navigate narrow canals flanked by traditional stilt houses and shops. A shirtless man works near a boat while others paddle and trade along the water. The grainy, color-bleached film and natural lighting evoke a raw, authentic slice of mid-century Indian life, showcasing daily commerce and transportation in a vibrant riverside community.
